My current build is pretty close to the size of that thing, After looking at the stats for it, I'll stick with what I'm building. I have over an inch more hover height, top speed is about what I am expecting to get, & weight, mine is anorexic compared to big Bertha in that advert.

Runs sweet. A credit to all those who have worked on it before me. Few items to upgrade and improve for longevity and vanity. cosmetics and paint.Planning to gets lots of use from it.Considering taking it to the club cruise at Loch Fyne. Not sure how well it will perform, only one way to find out.Going through a few trials here on land before I hit the beaches at Crammond.Should have the nut and bolt check completed and paint marked by the weekend.I plan to take it out to shows and events throughout the year. Going to pick the best adventures.

You'll need to be very careful on Cramond beach - it can be busy with walkers and others (it's also not as flat as it might look from a distance!). In general, it's much safer to operate on the water - it might be better to wait until the tide comes in (it's quite shallow in that area) which then allows recovery if needed - without being too pessimistic ).

Still at land trials for a bit.Appreciate the advice about crammond.I have several other secluded beaches with car access in mind over in East Lothian.The marinisation guide is next weeks work.Finished off bolt check last night and all bolts torque sealed.See which ones come out again.Fire Extinguishers go in tonightI am quite fortunate that i have been able to engage a couple of my neighbors with 24' RIBs to support me on the first water trials.Not convinced of reliability of the craft yet. I'll post some pictures of progress over the weekend.
